Tip of the day: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For your documents, you certainly care about the aesthetics, because looking at a pretty document is simply much more pleasure. If you use #Markdown or HTML-based documents in #DEVONthink, you can easily customize the look with a stylesheet. Here’s how that works. #devonthinktogo #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230110-custom-stylesheet

Some skewering insights from @mariafarrell on “the prodigal techbro” in @convo_ist. In a parenthetical nutshell she offers this: “(While we’re thinking about the neatly elided parts of the prodigal tech bro story, let’s dwell for one moment on the deletion of the entire stories of so many women and people of color barely given a first chance in Silicon Valley, let alone multiple reinventions.)”

I find my best mobile Mastodon experience is in a mobile browser (usually Firefox). I find it just as easy to navigate as any app and I also have access to all my lists and settings. I just reloaded the apps this evening to see if I felt improvement (I did not).

What’s your preferred mode of mobile Mastodon? Feel free to add details in the replies.

Q for #AcademicFedi, #HCI, #lazyweb: What has been published (if anything, yet) about how lay people understand what ChatGPT is and how it works?

From the world's most trivial news dept: So I've had the same broken laundry hamper for like ... twenty years. I inherited it from a roommate after college, and it gradually fell apart but I kept telling myself it was absurd to replace a thing that's just for laundry. Finally, I couldn't even put stuff into it anymore because it kept collapsing. So I bought a brand-new one! And I keep marveling at it. A hamper that looks nice and isn't cracked and stained and torn! It's a whole new era.
